As others have stated it will work for now for books that are available using Download & Transfer. That excludes books borrowed under Kindle Unlimited and in a few other categories. There is no way for us to know whether or not Amazon plans to further restrict Download & Transfer. I think so, but I am not sure by how much or when that might happen.
That device is capable of running firmware up to version 5.12.2.2 which downloads most books in KFX format with as yet unbroken DRM. It should be possible to jailbreak that device and revert it to firmware that does not support KFX, such as version 5.6.2.1 and block it from updating back to later firmware. But that is something I would not recommend for those who are not technically savvy. Unless you already own that one it would be easier to just obtain a older model that cannot run firmware with KFX support..
In the end there is no guarantee of the ability to remove DRM in the future no matter which Kindle model you own.
